Currently Listening to: "Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events" by Thomas Newman.

It was now nighttime, and Riley was ready to go to sleep.

"OK guys," Joy announced, "Before we go, I just wanted to say, considering what happened to Riley today, I think we did a great job pulling through. You all should be proud."

"Great," Anger commented, "Have fun with dream duty tonight."

"As long as it's not too depressing," Joy grinned, "I always do."

"You know," Fear pointed out, "We kinda forgot about that Burger Beard guy. I wonder what happened to him."

"I hope he took off," Disgust repulsed, "We do not need somebody like that running around Riley's mind."

"Well," Joy stated, "I'm sure we'll figure all of this out tomorrow. Now, you guys run off to bed. I've got it from here." And, with that, Fear, Disgust, and Anger retired to their rooms for the evening. Riley had fallen asleep and her mind had shit down for the evening.

Joy started settling down to watch tonight's dream, when she noticed Sadness starting to walk towards her.

"Hey Sadness," Joy greeted, "What are you doing out here still?"

"Things got pretty sad today," Sadness offered, "Would you like me to stay up with you?"

"Sadness," Joy comforted, "I know I was a bit upset earlier, but I promise I'm fine. Now that I know Riley's OK."

"Are you sure," Sadness asked. Joy responded by giving a soft peck on her forehead.

"Go to bed Sadness," Joy whispered, "I've got this."

"Alright," Sadness conceded, beginning to climb up to her bedroom, "But if you start feeling off, come get me, OK?"

"I promise," Joy responded.

"Good night Joy," Sadness quietly announced, proceeding into her bedroom.

"Good night Sadness," Joy whispered.

Joy was flattered that Sadness was so concerned about her, but she was also a bit puzzled. Usually, if Joy broke down, she would always be fine after a few minutes. So, Joy was confused as to why Sadness expected something different to happen this time. But, Joy focused on feeling flattered and began to watch tonight's dream.

Joy managed to stay awake for about five minutes before clonking out. It had been a long day for everybody, so she hoped the others would understand.

The dream Joy was missing was pretty boring anyways. Riley having an adventure through the mystical lands of a hospital waiting room, waiting forever to get an appointment. Dream Productions was clearly running out of ideas.

But, let's focus on Burger Beard for a while. When he ducked into the break room, everyone forgot about him. Giving him a perfect opportunity to slice a hole through the break room window and cross the memory dump to Riley's subconscious.

And once he was in Riley's subconscious, it didn't take long for Burger Beard to find Imagination Land, exactly as he had hoped.

After slicing through some thick french fry branches with his sword, Burger Beard found a clearing hidden away from any passerby's eyes.

Burger Beard saw a tiny sign that said the path ahead was booby trapped, but he ignored it, being a pirate.

Finally, he saw it. He found what he's been looking for. A book resting on a pedestal, guarded by some pretty cool pirate skeletons.

"At last," Burger Beard cackled, "I've gone through almost 70 kids to find you."

Burger Beard remembered the traps that were mentioned, but a simple ballerina dance allowed him to evade the spike traps on the floor and stand right in front of the book.

"What's that you're saying," Burger Beard questioned, "Take the book? Well, don't mind if I do!"

Burger Beard swiped the book from right off it's pedestal and began laughing maniacally. For a long time. Long enough to attract attention from an unforeseen guardian.

"Hey," a mysterious voice gruffly yelled, "What do you think you're doing?"

"I'm just taking this book to get cleaned," Burger Beard cowered, "The skeletons said I could."

"I doubt that," the gruff voice growled. Then, he stepped out of the french fry branches to reveal himself as Riley's imaginary boyfriend. From Canada.

"Ha ha ha ha ha," Burger Beard laughed, "Why don't you just keep walking little punk? Before you hurt or embarrass yourself."

"I would die for Riley," the imaginary boyfriend proclaimed.

"Well," Burger Beard threatened, "Let's see if that's true!" Burger Beard threw his hardest punch at the imaginary boyfriend, but he dodged it with ease.

"Oh," Burger Beard mocked, "That's how you're doing it. Cheating. Well, prepare to face..."

Burger Beard was interrupted by a swift kick to the knee. Burger Beard almost went down, but stayed up.

The imaginary boyfriend tried making a sucker punch, but Burger Beard was the one to dodge this time. The imaginary boyfriend decided to try and throw a square punch, but Burger Beard stopped him with his book.

"Ha ha," Burger Beard mocked, "You suck."

The imaginary boyfriend finally landed a large uppercut on Burger Beard, landing him right back into headquarters.

Burger Beard was a bit worried for a second that he dropped the book back in Imagination Land. But, then he saw that he still had it in his hand.

"Is that the best you got," Burger Beard yelled.

"Sadness," Joy mumbled, "Is that you?" Turns out all of the noise woke up Joy.

"Oh no," Burger Beard fretted, "Not yet!" So, while Joy rubbed her eyes, getting used to seeing things, Burger Beard ducked into the break room, silent as a stone.

"Huh," Joy mumbled, "I wonder what made that noise?"

What made that noise was currently in the break room, evilly cackling, book in hand, crouching on the floor.

"Phase one is completed," Burger Beard laughed, "Now on to phase two."
